"specification of L'etters Patent.

Patented Apr. 15, 1913.

Application inea september 9, i912. serial No. 719,304.

To all whom t may concern l Be it known that I, LEWIS M. PETTiT, a citizen of the United States, residing 'at Penns Grove, in the county of Salem and State of New Jersey, have invente-d certain. new and useful Improvements in Saw-Sets, 4of which the following is a specification. l

My invention relates to improvements in saw sets, the 'ob-ject of fthe invention being to provide an improved `device of this 'chai'- actei Vcomprising two members hin-ged together having saw engaging tongues Ithereon and provided with adjustable beveled blades on their upper facie, whereby teeth may be quickly and accurately set at any desired angle.

A further object is to provide a device of this character which is of extreme simplicity and which may belmanufactured and "sold at a reasonably low price.

IV ith these and other objects 4in view, the invention consists in certain novel features. of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fullyi hereinafter described and pointed out in the i claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view illustrating my improved saw set. Fig. 2 is a view in longitudinal section through the center of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of one of the members detached, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the blades.

My improved saw set comprises two members l, 1, which are formed on one face with integral tongues 2, 2, to clampy the saw blade between them and on the opposite face of said members, at their outer edges, they are provided with perforated ears 3 for the reception of rivets 4 which pivotally secure the members together as clearly shown.

For clearness of description, I shall refer to that face of the saw set which conta-ins the tongues 2 as the lower face` and the other face of said saw set the upper face.

On the upper face of the members 1, 1, blades 5, 5, are secured and these blades 5, 5, have beveled or V-shaped ends 6 which are adapted to project across the space between the two members and bend the teeth of the saw. These blades 5, 5, are each provided with a longitudinal slot 7, and the rear end of each blade is formed withan upwardly projecting ange 9 having a central recess 10 therein. Posts 11 are secured in the members 1 in rear of the blades 5.

V 'Screws 12 'engage in threaded openings in tlre posts 11 and are provided with annular recesses 13 at. their ends which are positioned in the recesses 10 of llanges 9, so that when 'the screws are turned they will compel the blades. "to move longitudinally. Suitable heads 11i are provided on t-he outer ends of the screws 12 to facilitate their turning movement.

Bolt-s 15 project through curved slots 16 iii the members 1, and through the slots 7 in blades 5. rllhe'se bolts 15 have heads 17 on their Alower ends and are provided with wing nuts 1'8 on their -upper ends engaging the blades It will thus be seen that when these wing nuts 18 are loosened, the blades 5 may be swung laterally so as to position their beveled ends at any desired `distance apart and 1vat any desired angle to each other.

Furthermore, the blades may be adjusted longitudinally by means of the screws 13, so that these blades may be positioned on the members .1 in exact accordance with the set of .the saw teeth. When they are properly adjusted, they are secured by tightening the wing nuts 18 and by opening and closing the members on the saw and moving it along the teeth of the saw, the teeth may all be set alike and the operation may be quickly and easily performed.

Various slight changes might be made in the. general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

I-Iaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: l

1. A saw set, comprising two members which when in operative position are substantially in alinement upwardly projecting ears on the upper faces of said members at their inner ends pivotally secured together, whereby the pivotal point of the set is above the members, downwardly projecting saw gripping tongues on the members at their adjacent ends, and adjustable blades on the upper face of the members adapted to engage the saw teeth when the tongues grip the opposite sides of the saw, substantially as described.

2. A saw set, comprising two members which when4 in operative position are substantially in alinement, upwardly projecting ears on the upper faces of said members at their inner ends pivotally secured together, whereby the pivotal point of the set is above the members, downwardly projecting saw gripping tongues on the members at their adjacent ends, adjustable blades on the upper face of the membersadapted to engage the saw teeth when the tongues grip the opposite sides of the saw, and means for securing said blades at dierent longitudinal and lateral adjustments, substantially as described.

3. A saw set, comprising two members which when in operative position are substantially in alinement, upwardly projecting ears on the upper faces of said members at their inner ends pivotally secured together, whereby the pivotal point of the set is above the members, downwardly projecting saw gripping tongues on the members at their adjacent ends, adjustable blades onA the upper face of the members adapted to engage the saw teeth when the tongues grip theopposite sides of the saw, means for securing said blades at diierent longitudinal and lateral adjustments, said longitudinally adjustable means comprising screws having rotary mounting at one end in the blades, and threaded engagements between their ends with fixed parts of the members, said having lateral adjusting means comprising a bolt projected through longitudinal slots in the blades and lateral slots in the members, and nuts securing said bolts, substantially as described.

4. A saw set comprising two members hinged together, tongues on one side of said members adapted to grip the saw, blades on the opposite faces of said members, said blades having two longitudinal slots therein, flanges on the outer ends of said blades having recesses therein, posts in the members projecting through slots in the blades, and

screw threaded openings therethrough, screws engaging the threads in said openings, and having reduced portions positioned in the notches in the'anges, said members having laterally positioned slots therein, bolts projected through said laterally positioned slots and through the slots in the blades, and thumb nuts on said bolts, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

LEWIS M. PETTIT.
